I cant believe people are suggesting that you hang a non-functional oil cooler off the front of your car. Fuck thats stupid.
Why not go the whole hog and suggest other fake shit.
How about some stick on carbon look vinyl for your bonnet and interior?
maybe some plastic chrome treadplate floor mats?
Stick on hood scoops are easy to add- no need for a hole under it.
Bullet hole stickers?
fake bonnet pins?
fake disk brake covers for your drums?
oooooh, get one of those devices that you plug into the radio to make it sound like a v8!!!!

As already said.
Don't bother with a 3vz-fe. The rear bank is known for sludging up pretty bad as oil wants to pool there. Short of stripping the block and getting it dipped there is no easy way of removing this shit- which is a time bomb as when it comes loose everything gets blocked up.
The 1mz-fe (cheaper than 2mz?) is a much better engine. Aluminum block and variable valve timing (i think) as well as heads that breath muuuch better.
I'd personally not touch any v6 from toyota. From memory (its been a while) they are all shit for one reason or another. The later ones are better mechanically but can be a pain to get going due to very complex looms and overly smart ECU's.
If you want a MUCH better motor with ample aftermarket parts available and boatloads of wiring info IMO go 2jz either turbo or non turbo. Bullet proof and very smooth lovely motors.
1jz is a very close second.
later versions of the 2j and 1j also have Variable valve timing which is cool.
buuuuuuuuut
1uz's are popular because they are cheap and also bloody good motors. just 1uz it and hang a ferrari engine cover over the top of it or something.

Fuck this is just lol after lol.
lingling you could have broken something by joining random plug pins. Don't do stuff like that unless ur sure you know what ur doing is right.

Just about any reasonably priced article of clothing in generic stores is a trickle down of more expensive fasionable items that previously held exclusivity and quality that demanded a premium in price.

take it for a thrash and then tell us if its 1, 1.5 or 2 way. If you can't tell then it DOESN'T MATTER!
Anyway. Its got so much rust than it'll probably not make it to the next track day.

if you can't tell by driving the car, lingling... does it really matter?

just wham it back on with some liquid gasket round the flange there then put axles in, fill with oil.. then enjoy the car/ go do a burnout somewhere.
